Simple enough - Rank who you believe will be 10 best Rams players of 2018.

10 - Ndamukong Suh
9 - Brandin Cooks
8 - Michael Brockers
7 - Robert Woods
6 - Jared Goff
5 - Rodger Saffold
4 - Lamarcus Joyner
3 - Marcus Peters
2 - Todd Gurley
1 - Aaron Donald

Ok, I know Hekker and Zeurline are missing here, as is Whitworth and Aquib Talib and several other great players...

Whitworth should be on that list and perhaps the top lineman. Otherwise it indicates that things aren't going too well for Jared's blindside.

Idk man, I'd have Suh ranked a lot higher... 10th?

Have to agree! I have never been a huge Suh fan (Always been an Aaron Donald fan!) BUT I always respected his skills, determination and emotions (Except for the times they go a little overboard!) and I always thought he was a MONSTER impersonating as an NFL DT! I know other Rams fans will call me crazy but right now I would rank Donald 1A and Suh 1B! I can't even imagine the two of them playing on the same Defense (Just really happy it IS the Rams Defense!)!

Whitworth can be the second best lineman and a better than solid LT at his age. Could have put him on there - but he has to age someday.

The idea is to challenge you guys to try to fit your 10.

I put Suh at 10 because I dont know that he will be better than the others... but thats the exciting thing: its possible he absolutely dominates.

Make your own lists y'all!! - It's harder than it looks if you try to be fair and consider how age and certain contributions will change things..

Like Hekker - he is probably a top 5 Rams performer, but I dont expect us to punt much more than last year.

No Woods? I just don't see both Cooper and Brandin supplanting Woods as #1 WR

I put Cooper in the Top 10 because of what I expect from him in the Rams Return Game!
I expect Cooks and Kupp to be the #1 and #2 WR's! I didn't list Kupp because I was sticking to the 10 man theme of the thread!
I am concerned about Woods staying Healthy for 16 games+!

If our punter is better than our QB it doesn’t bode well for the season

Anything less than Goff and Donald sharing 1 & 2 spots would be a concern for me. Love Gurley but it’s a QB league and our QB needs to take the reigns

1) Gurley. If you don't stop him, you can't beat the Rams. See 2017

2) Goff. You simply cannot win in today's NFL w/o a good QB and this guy has only begun to shine.

3) Donald. It's one thing for an offensive player to make others around him better, but on defense? This guy is the best defensive player in the game. Period

4a/4b) Woods and Kupp. I will be shocked and outraged if the Rams avg 30 pts a game, win the west, and neither of these guys makes the pro bowl.

5) Joyner. I freely admit that this time last year I was not sold on moving him to FS. He was an excellent slot/nickelback. He was awesome last year. With Talib and Peters doing their thing, Joyner should be the beneficiary of some errant throws. He's also a big hitter and a good tackler. He's gonna be the glue back there.

5) our kicking game. GZ and Hekker. Any need for discussion?

6) Whitworth. For as good as he plays, he brings a lot more to the table than blocking.

7) Peters. This guy has led the league in picks since he's been a pro. What do you think can happen when this team puts you down 2-3,scores?

8) JJ3. Loved this guy last year. Predicted he would be the starter by season's end.I think this guy could be a pro bowler next year. Best safety tandem in football by year's end.

9) Saffold. Why didn't he make the pro bowl last year? Is he now an OL in his prime?

10) Suh. Stopping the run is a priority this year. He's here to see that it happens.

Hekker will dominate his position more completely than anyone not named Donald
